Fire Emblem: Ashes of Sacrifice [Fall of the Empire]

I'm glad people liked my format so much, but I don't take any credit for it considering I just messed around with all the things I'd read in this thread. That being said I'll also be using some of the things others have added to theirs, like stats and such. I also really like the use of the notebook @Lugubrious!

As for supports, Bloodwolf messaged me earlier about it so I'll be waiting for thier post before going forward and maybe bumping into Einar or the prince - but I'm very interested in everyone's characters so would be open to anything

Okay. Demon Slayer. But 13 COLONIES

Keeping an eye on this!

Fire Emblem: Ashes of Sacrifice [Fall of the Empire]

@Savo Right now I'm thinking... Squire -> Cavalier -> Bow Knight -> ???

I really like the idea of a Valkyrie, but it would mean giving up the bow (possible future char?). Will probably work toward perhaps a Great Knight or Arcane Arrow?

Belisendé
Garleton, Lothian Empire

I made it, the young woman thinks. As she walks the road into town, leading a rather aggressive looking horse with a pink ribbon tied to it's tail, she takes in the view of the castle and it's surrounding lands. It's in a sorry state, quite different both from the capitol she grew up and the small villages she had spent time in on the way here. Her pace slows as she takes it all in. She imagines what a charming place it may have been in the past, before war or rebellions or the need for foreign knights. What a charming place it can become again, once this is all over. Before she can get too deep into her thoughts, the majestic animal beside her snorts and pushes his nose against her head. Bel pushes his muzzle away, sighing as she does so. "Yes, yes. Thank you, Sunbeam." Her voice is light and doesn't waver. Is she nervous? Of course, a little. She'll be training - for war - soon, but though her heart shivers in anxiousness, in anticipation of the future, her voice is still with hope. Bel continues forward a little quicker now, sparing glances at the gathering knights and mercenaries as she moves closer to the center of Garleton. I've heard that his Imperial Highness the fourth Prince is here, her thoughts flow as she walks, that's surprising. It would be nice to see him again, but it's been years. He probably won't remember me... and if he does, would he actually let me fight? I may have to avoid him anyway... The speckled gray stallion she leads gives anyone looking Bel's way a nasty glare, keeping strangers at a distance while she is lost in thought, insuring she won't bump into anyone by mistake. As they come upon what seemed to be the biggest gathering of potential recruits, they stopped. It was hard to see past the crowd of men and women, taller and stronger looking than her. It doesn't phase her, she just waits at the edge of the crowd, idly petting her horse's mane and shoulder. "We'll get us both some food soon," she murmurs, the stallion snorting contentedly in response. They both look over now to their third companion, a 'hunter' they had met a few days ago during their journey to Garleton. Bel gives him a curious look, while Sunbeam fixes him with what could only be called a stink eye. The horse didn't much like the man, but then again, he didn't much like any human outside of the Imperial family. Although Bel remained a little suspicious, the man also wielded a bow and had been kind enough to give her some tips. For that she was grateful, and now that they had reached Garleton she wondered if he was also here to enlist.

Gotcha, thanks! By the way, I think it might be a benefit to have an NPC masterpost too, like the region info ones you have up.

Fire Emblem: Ashes of Sacrifice [Fall of the Empire]

Now that the IC is up, we can jump right in, yes? This will actually be my first RP on this site (I have plenty of experience outside of it, no worries!), so just double checking!

Fire Emblem: Ashes of Sacrifice [Fall of the Empire]

Belisendé, Young Royal

"Don't you want to save this country?"

Name: Belisendé - “Bel”
Age: 18
Gender: Female

Appearance:
A thin young woman with a small bust and short stature. Her small frame doesn't exactly inspire confidence in her abilities as a soldier, but she can draw a bow with ease and has been working on building up muscle. As of yet, her skin is unblemished by battle.

Personality: Bel had always had a quiet hunger for knowledge. Her curiosity carried her from a spoiled childhood as an imperial royal, to a slightly more subdued adolescence. She is well educated and bright, and can quickly tell when she is out of her element... despite this, she puts on a confident air around others to appear as if she knows what she's talking about. She takes herself very seriously, and cares a lot about being taken seriously by others. She is a straight forward person and although she has only recently entered adulthood, she prefers to be treated maturely - as she tries to treat others. Sometimes her past as an 'entitled noble' will show through as stubbornness with a penchant to argue, but when she knows she's in the wrong she will make up for it in time.

Backstory: A noble and an only child, once part of the royal families of the Lothian Empire. She was raised as a pampered girl, easily able to obtain anything she wanted. Her family kept several tutors and scholars in their employ - and Belisendé frequently visited with them, as knowledge and academic pursuits were something she actually had to work hard at, she enjoyed the challenge of it. Although her talents lay more in historical and political studies, she was also taught horsemanship and bowmanship as noble recreation activities. As Belisendé grew older, she came to realize that what she had thought were anecdotes of the past were actually recent struggles within the Empire, and her family had instructed her tutors to gloss over things, seeking to keep Belisendé sheltered and ignorant to the Empire’s failings for as long as possible. As the years continued to pass and the Empire’s inner conflicts continued to grow, Belisendé focused harder on her martial training - intending to volunteer to help the Lothian military attempt to bring peace to the Empire. Her plan didn’t go as she expected; many officers in the military were familiar with her family, and upon seeing her would turn her away and spread the word for others to do the same. Frustrated, Belisendé was close to resigning herself to never being able to help the Empire attain peace - until the Lyonesse Kingdom declared war. Belisendé used to confusion to escape the watchful eye of her protectors, stealing away on the back of her favored horse Sunbeam, her determination renewed...
...well that's nice and all, but while traveling the edges of the Empire, trying to help any strangers she came across, she realized that her goal may be easier said than done. She was, putting it nicely, a weakling. She could draw a bow and shoot with accuracy, and she could ride a horse - but doing both at once proved difficult. She was well learned in politics and strategy, but putting them into effect during the heat of battle seemed daunting. As her determination was waning yet again, she overheard mention of potential soldiers gathering at Garleton and decided to make that her next destination. She cut her hair and donned commoner's clothes, and addressed herself only as "Bel" to those she met - hoping to start fresh and become useful in the path to peace within the Empire.

@Sho Minazuki I've changed the ability to a simple DEX+2 while mounted on Sunbeam. Is that alright?

Fire Emblem: Ashes of Sacrifice [Fall of the Empire]

@Sho Minazuki Sure! Would you say the main issue is the stat increases or the mount aspect? I would prefer to do something like keep the mount aspect and drop the stat increase to like, 2 at most but you're right, most of the combat would be mounted so if the connection to being mounted is the issue I can think up something else!

Fire Emblem: Ashes of Sacrifice [Fall of the Empire]

Heyo! I'm back from a trip and reading to roleplay.

Here's what I was thinking for my character; I'll post her sheet below but I was planning an eventual Bow Knight (or mounted magic class depending on how things go). Right now she can shoot and ride, but isn't great at doing both at once! She needs some training despite what her attitude might imply.

I'm looking for any feedback, but especially on her personal skill. In some FE games you can choose to dismount during a turn, and this being a more fluid RP I am sure there are situations where Bel would have to dismount, or where she would be knocked off her horse, or it gets injured and she'll need a replacement for a while, etc... so I hope it doesn't come off as too strong? Let me know!
